5 North Carolina Homes Featuring Craftsmanship, Views, and Waterfront Living

Sheltered by Asheville’s hills, 91 Glendale Ave unfolds across three levels of new-construction modern craftsmanship. Upstairs, the primary suite feels airy with tall ceilings, a private covered porch, a walk-in shower, and double vanities. Two additional bedrooms share the level with a full hall bath and a conveniently placed laundry area. On the main floor, an open, bright layout is designed for gathering, anchored by a substantial center island, stainless steel appliances, gleaming hardwood floors, and a smooth linear gas fireplace. Sip coffee on the covered front porch, then let evenings spill out to the back deck with room to host outdoors. Downstairs, a fully finished lower level offers flexibility—home theatre, game room, or guest suite—supported by ample lighting, storage, and an additional full bath. Custom tile work, quality cabinetry, and tankless on-demand hot water round out the experience.

A new roof (2023/24) and updated heat pumps (2019) add peace of mind, while an unfinished storage area with moisture-resistant poured concrete walls keeps everything neatly tucked away.
